My Roof Overhangs display from the fascia to the Roof Baseline. This is what I am seeing with roofs turned off. But I could do this in X7, so I don't know what has changed. Joe, I am not getting this.

English, There are some great 3D climbers in the Bonus Catalogs...3D Plants...Climbers. They look good in raytrace, render and vector views
-
Johnny, I am not sure if you can do that directly. But once you have placed a wall from the library into the plan (just place a short length anywhere), it will become available in the Wall Type Definitions dbx. You can then select all the existing walls that you want to change and then change them to your new wall type from the drop down list in Wall Specification dbx. We probably need Replace From Library to apply to walls as well as other objects.

I think the problem is that the brick joint color is the same color as the bricks once the Shading Contrast does it's magic. This results in the brick joint disappearing in the shaded areas. So, either change the brick joint color, or as Chopsaw said, change the Shading Contrast.

Mark, The floor above the foundation can provide it's own floor if you want it that way. The foundation doesn't HAVE to provide the floor for the floor above. You can do ir either way.
-
Newell, You are not explaining yourself properly. Can you have another go at explaining what you are trying to achieve. Was Chopsaw close to what you want?
-
Michael, I have found that the same thing can be done by using the same wall def and just "Reverse Layers" for the alternating rail sections.
-
Scott, I wouldn't call this a mono slab. A mono slab has integrated footing and slab - this is a foundation wall, footing and slab. Foundation panel is the Foundation panel (tab) in the Foundation Defaults dbx (sorry, dvx in your case ). Similar to the Options panel This is how I would do it. http://screencast.com/t/O9FGd5HTe8

Mark, Try, Defaults...Foundation...Foundation panel...Foundation Type...Hang First Floor Platform Inside Foundation Walls.
-
Ahh...., there is another way. You can uncheck Floor Under This Room in the room dbx.
-
Johnny, Yeah, looks like challenge, but I will see how far I can go with auto. Where did you send the file to? OK, got the file.
-
You can change the marker text in the Dimension Line Specification dbx...Extensions/Markers...Marker Style...Elevation Marker Text. I have previously sent in a request to not apply additional text to the dim line and the marker.
-
I don't think you can get auto dimensions to do that. But you should be able to edit the auto dim lines and they will snap to the wall centreline. http://screencast.com/t/y9Fy6F8ruHQp

No problems Johnny. Give me a call when you are ready.
-
Johnny, So..... what you really want to do is offset the whole railing, posts, etc, from the edge of the deck? If I read you correctly. If so... Leave the Newels/Posts offset at zero. Create a new railing definition with an additional wall layer on the inside with Opening (No Material) and the thickness you want to offset the railing.
-
Johnny, I don't have a lot of time at the moment, but I think the difference in the roof heights (assuming the same pitch) is being caused by the difference in thickness between the railing wall and the house wall. Try unchecking Automatic Birdsmouth Cut in the roof defaults and then draw your balcony roof.. Chief is making auto b/m cuts which will vary depending on wall thickness. It's a lot easier to do auto roofs.
-
Or....... select object, Copy and then drag.

Joing a 2 x 12 Pitch to a 4 x 12 Pitch How to go about it
glennw replied to MrGlenn's topic in General Q & A
Define the roof slopes in the wall dbx and then auto build roofs. -
Scott, As far as I can tell, there have been no changes to the terrain tools. Maybe it's just that you are getting better at them!
-
You are probably looking through a window with Opaque Glass unchecked and seeing a window label for a window in the background. If you have Opaque Window Glass checked, you shouldn't see the labels for windows in the background through windows in the foreground.
-
Joe, Johnny is talking about auto generated contours. Ha, Ha, the auto censor edited t...i...t in my post!
-
Johnny, You can't select or edit either the auto contour lines or the labels. The only *** bit of info I can give you that may help is that Chief places the contour labels clear of any buildings.

Why do foundation stem walls extend higher where there are deck ledgers?
glennw replied to zowie123's topic in General Q & A
Barry, I think you will have to post the plan. Or...is the foundation wall marked as Hang Floor Platform Above on Wall? -
Tthe problem is that you are trying to make a poyline out of splines and other entity types. You can't include a spline in a polyline - you need to convert it to a polyline first. Go around and select your splines and convert them to polylines with the Convert Spline to Polyline on the Edit menu. You can then go around and join all the line entities to form a polyline. You can do that by selecting a polyline, arc. line, etc and then clicking on it end or start handle.
-
That is not a closed polyline. You need to go around and join up all the separate entities into a closed polyline.
